New Sweater from Grandma
My mother has done it again—produced a beautiful, perfect sweater for Lucas in less than two weeks. It’s his favorite color, turquoise. She used an acrylic yarn by Caron “Simply Soft” because she likes the way it washes and dries in the dryer. I like that, too, for my ever-muddy boys.
She used a seed stitch and a basketweave stitch—both of which are completely beyond my understanding and skill.
It’s wonderful having a grandma who make such beautiful things. My sons have drawers-full of handknit socks and a closet-full (they have to share one) full to bursting with grandma’s sweaters. Now if only I could convince the little guy that “fuzzy” is a good quality in a sweater.

Your boys are lucky to have such a crafty grandma who creates such beautiful work for them.

Oh Julia, I agree wholeheartedly! Thanks for your kind comment.
